It seems every time I turn around lately Oprah (even in the news/politics today cnn.com today)has made me really look at myself and evaluate what is really important in life. You see now that I am 40 something I am getting to experience the “midlife crazy” time. Yep, alot of the people in my life are either going through a divorce or having marital problems. Well, maybe if we all considered some of what Oprah gives us the chance to learn ways we may have a better life. I personally think she is awesome.
With everything negative you hear in a day, along with the busy schedules, stress from work and news we all get drug down. They say surround yourself with positive people and you will be able to stay positive. The theory is good…. but if you only see the headline on the newspaper or turn the TV on you may not make through an hour feeling real positive. But I am determined to be as positive as I can. Both of these Oprah stories below are worth reading and listening to. They will certainly make you stop and think.
Sure we all have problems and certainly can complain about how we feel, what hurts, who has hurt us and all that other crap but in the real world…..no one can change it for us and only we have control over ourselves. My mother always says: “You come into this world alone and you die alone!” Well guess what….she is right again.
We all keep we could all use the Venting Diet and it does’t cost a thing.
The stories about Rick & Patrick are more than inspiring and worth seeing if you haven’t already.
